Fleet Services

There are over 125 vehicles and pieces of equipment owned by the City. These include police vehicles, heavy equipment, small equipment, lawn mowers, snow plows and medium and heavy duty trucks. These are spread across many departments within the structure of the City to serve in many capacities.

The Fleet Maintenance division of Public Works currently has three full-time staff who perform duties in two major fields:

  • The first field is routine preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance and up-fitting and decommissioning for equipment and vehicles. This includes preparing and/or storing for summer use or winter use.
     
  • The second field is administrative in nature. The Fleet Maintenance division drafts documents (i.e. quotes, bids) and is primarily involved in vehicle, equipment and tool acquisition. Records are kept for individual repairs on all equipment. Monthly reports are submitted for vehicle inspection reports, fuel usage and division activity. The City’s fuel supply and a small stock of oil, filters and parts are ordered by the Fleet Maintenance division.

From time to time, the City will put vehicles or other equipment up for auction on a third-party site.  To view City of Fruita equipment or vehicles that are currently at auction, please visit govedeals.com
